The upper edge 12are inserted and the gasket 9 and closure D@ of the bottle is providedwith the lip 4;, while cap 8 are applied and the cap screwed home.

The bottle is now hermetically sealed. Valve 13 is withdrawn to occupyposition 14 as inS dicated by the full line position and the bottleremainsrpositioned with cap 6 downward.

As chemical action roceeds the sedimentary materials are precipitatedand collect on cap 6 and in the constricted neck of the bottle. When'such chemical action is completed, valve 13 isY forced down by means ot'a como pressive thrust on the valve stem and comes in `contact with thetapered bottled section as indicated atY 15 in the dotted line position.Due Yto the Ysoft and resilient nature of the valve it conforms itselttothe constricted con- 15 tour, thus forming an effective seal.

The metal sealing cap may now be removed, the sediment washed out and anew cap placed on the bottle or should it be desirable to use thebeverage at this time, the bottle may be gg Al'enverted, the valvewithdrawn from its closin position and the beverage poured.

l; Should be noted that during the operationof washing out the sedimentthe sealing l efect of the valve 13 on the bottle wall at u point 15 isgreatly aidedY by the internal gas vreasure, which in many of the homemanuactured beverages often exceeds sixty pounds per square inch.

It'is to be understood that the valve 13 is so introduced into thecontainer or bottle .through the largest end opening 3, by forcing ittherethrou h, that'is to say, by compressing or slightl (informing thevalve member so Qtl'lat it wi 1 pass through the opening. The

ttiY valve is preferably of resilient or deformable `material wherebyits insertion can be effected and uresume its natural shape after it islocated within the bottle. Y

i This description of my invention as applied im to'beverage containersis given for purposes of illustration, but no undue limitation should bededuced therefrom and the appended claims should be constructed asbroadly as 'permissible in view of the prior art.

4.5 Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent ofthe United States is:

1. In a liquid containing, sediment removing and as retaining device ofthe character .so describe the combination of an elongated containerbody member having two open ends, a threaded s lit retainer ringpositioned near one end of t e body member, a pierced "threaded closuremember engaging said ring,

6i a eompressible seating gasket positioned between the retainer ringand lower iared edge of the container opening, a packing gland in baseof the body member, a rod passing through the cap and a packing glandsurrounding this rod to prevent the escape of contained gas.

3. A container of the character described having open ends, a crimpedcap on one end and a removable closure for the other end, a valve stemextending through said removable closure having means for cooperationwith the interior of said container for forming a sediment collectingchamber Within the crimped cap end of said container.

4. A bottle having a neck portion and a bead for receiving a crimpedclosing cap, a removable bottom for said bottle having a valve stemtherethrough and a valve means on said stern disposed Within said bottlefor cooperation with the interior of the neck portion thereof.
